LED Tailgate Light Bar Install

Purchased a LED Tailgate Light Bar from Jason over at Burtman Industries ( http://www.burtmanindustries.com/zoo...=led_light_bar ). Great guy with a great company for anyone that is interested. Here are some quick shots I took at night to show a couple of the features.

Do the white LED's make much difference in how much light you have backing up? God knows these trucks need it!

Not really, no noticeable difference to me.

I want it

I plan to get one of these. live4swell how much did you pay? I see them on Ebay as well.

On my drive up to LkTahoe 8AM Sunday morning for some snowboarding, It was overcast and snowing(storm) I happened to follow a Tacoma and noticed then that our tailights/brakelights are not a bright/visible as other vehicles. Even the 3rd brake light is tiny. Add some dirt and snow on the lights and even worse.

On the drive home on the freeway at night I also noticed that our truck lights are not as visible compared to others, especially in the rain.

There is another one on ebay, like $60 for each led bar... You'll need two

There is a user on customtacos.com has one, looks pretty nice!

I had one on my previous truck and liked it. I have been thinking of adding one to this truck also. Looks good IMO.

I think it was about $110 after shipping. This one is more expensive due to having the white reverse LEDs. I think its about $40 cheaper if you dont get that option. I purchased through Burtman Industries cuz I have dealt with him on different forums and a lot of people have and he is good business. Yeah, that was one of the main reasons I added it was due to lack of light back there, figured this adds a good amount of visibility.
